Delcude has a third party reviewer for the spam hold folder that allows an
extra set of rules. This allows you to catch more legit mail and kick it
back into the que. Works pretty well and brings the lost email down quite a
bit.

Fine tuning can get the false positives down alot as well.

Don't ever delete any mail, just reject it (sender should see that event
very quickly and can react), or at worst, quarantine it and waste
somebody's time "inspecting" it.

You should inform your "people" that false positives are unavoidable, so
the issues are

1) tuning the policies for minimum false positives (art, not science)

2) being able to whitelist quickly and simply

3) Giving The Rejected a short 4xx/5xx msg with the non-filtered email
address where they can whine.  DO NOT waste your bandwidth with paragraphs
here, since 99.99% (also an artistic number) of the rejects will be valid
and their reject messages unread.
